Wireless smart security cameras are a convenient way to monitor your home and keep your family safe. However, one of the biggest challenges with these cameras is remembering to charge them regularly. Fortunately, the eufy SoloCam S40 has an integrated solar panel that can charge the internal battery with just two hours of sunlight per day. This feature is especially helpful for those who enjoy spending time outdoors or with their families and don’t want to worry about constantly charging their cameras.
The eufy SoloCam S40 has an exceptional design for a battery-powered home security camera. It is freestanding, which means it can be placed on any flat surface or fixed on a wall using a screw-in mount that is provided. The camera lens has a wide 130-degree view and is housed within a matte white casing complemented by a glossy black fascia and an LED that illuminates when it detects motion or is being charged. The unit also consists of a microphone that enables the user to converse with anyone that is within the camera’s field of view.
The solar panel is located on the top of the camera, and there is a USB-C charging port at the back in case manual charging is required. With 8GB of built-in storage, the eufy SoloCam S40 can hold up to 30 days of video clips, each 10 seconds long and based on 30 events a day. The camera’s performance is impressive, with clear and detailed video recordings and the ability to detect motion at night.
Setting up the eufy SoloCam S40 is easy. Once the device is installed, you just need to download the app, create an account, press the sync button on the camera, enter your home’s Wi-Fi password, and scan the QR code that will be displayed on your phone to complete the setup process. The eufy security mobile app is user-friendly and allows you to view and access all eufy Security Cameras installed in your home. It can integrate with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistance, and even create a recording schedule.
If you’re particularly interested in monitoring specific areas, you can create activity zones where notifications will be pushed to you as and when motion is detected. The app also displays a snapshot of the most recent motion detection, and tapping this will let you instantly view the camera’s live feed.
In summary, the eufy SoloCam S40 is an excellent wireless smart security camera that addresses the challenge of regularly charging cameras. With its integrated solar panel and exceptional design, it provides peace of mind and allows you to enjoy more time outdoors or with your family.
